AT&T Broadband
AT&T Internet message center (non-PDA friendly)(POP mail resides here)
Linksys Wireless Gateway
Casio E-115
Linksys Wireless CF
Istream High Speed Cell IP by Voicestream (115k, no dialing, always on)
Istream Internet Message Center (PDA friendly)(synchronizes with Outlook)
Motorola P280 World Phone (using as Wireless cell net adapter)

Pop mail retrieval problems with Istream at the moment. Web mail working fine however. It would help if the AT&T message center were PDA enhanced.
Need more PDA friendly Web content....I know, more demand necessary.

Developing....

Should hear from Istream today on the POP mail issue under their 48 hour response promise.

Istream is still having problems with my POP mail download. Interesting. Other than that all systems are go. Fast downloads and excellent coverge. Unfortunately my POP mail is a top priority and a service killer if they cannot figure it out.

Istream cannot pull AT&T POP mail. :( I wonder if I can talk AT&T into upgrading their mail center to make it more PDA viewable. Ya, right. I still will not be able to download to the Inbox. Unbelievable.

I found a temporary solution to my e-mail problem.

Not bad. Very clean and fast on the Casio. Unfortunately it is a small fee 25.00/year. It does pull my AT&tT mail with no problems. Hotmail also for those looking to consolidate e-mail accounts. Istream seems to have no intentions of addressing this in the near future. I'm shopping but limited in what is available.
What ever happened to the offline e-mail concept? Web mail is ok on a Desktop but for mobile applications uploading and downloading mail makes much more sense in my mind. I am using CE 3.0, maybe 2002
addresses this better. I tried nPOP but it still would not pull my AT&T mail through Istream.

Halelluja! :D
I have PPC Inbox POP/SMTP mail! Sheesh!

I had to use nPOP because you have to use SMTP password authentication and CE 3.0 Inbox does not support that option. I am curious as to whether 2002 addresses that.

Been dancing all week. Handled about 15 e-mails from the field yesterday.
Web browsing is slow but functional. I am slowly finding the remote "Sweet Spots" where I get the best and most consistent connections.

Ah...free at last :D
